im about to undergo the rb25de to det conversion

heres a list of what i got:

front cut inc. gearbox, tailshaft, rear diff end, brakes, and 5 stud conversion.

should cost all up $5-6k inc. install, depending on how much i can afford to bolt on (fmic, injectors, etc)

wats the difference with the NEO Motor. where do u get front cuts from and do they come with gearbox. if i was to purchase the font cut would there be anything else i would need to get ie. Diff tailshaft ect.

Have you looked at this thread yet - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=129655

An RB25 is going to have more torque, but a 10k redline would make me giggle like a school girl :O

Also putting an RB25 box in a R32 needs a custom/cut down tail shaft. That may add a fair bit to the final figure. but if your running a 250rwkw RB20 you'll probably need one anyway.

Im using the rb20 gearbox runinng 230rwkw. only drivin it for one weekend but it feels fine so far. IMO its not worth putting the 25 box in coz they still break an the rb20 box is as cheap as chips to replace. Just use the best gear oil you can find.

That is rubbish... the RB20 gearbox is nothing like the RB25 gearbox. RB25 gearboxes are basically the same as the GTR minus the AWD bits.

If you go the RB25DET get the RB25 gearbox too, you will be sorry when you just have to take it back to be swapped out after it breaks down the track.

    • Hi, i’m making Vag coil loom for rb25det, can anyone confirm the wire guage i’m using for power supply in diagram is enough for supply not too small for loom? For earth do i need to follow the same procedure or i can use only 16awg wire for all coil and their connecting wire following to the plug?
    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
